Stephane Alexandre De Brito ｜ 日本学術振興会 外国人特別研究員

Dr De Brito is a psychologist and director of the Social, Cognitive, Affective, and Neuroscience (SCAN) lab. Research in the SCAN lab focuses on understanding the mechanistic interplay between the social, cognitive, affective, and neurocognitive factors implicated in the development and persistence of antisocial and aggressive behaviour. A second strand of research examines those aspects among youths who have experienced early adversity. More recently, Dr De Brito has developed an interest in impulsivity and he is also co-leading the ENIGMA Antisocial Behavior working group, which will be conducting large scale meta/mega-analyses of neuroimaging data on various antisocial phenotypes (e.g., conduct disorder, psychopathy) across the lifespan.
